Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

My boyfriend and I both looked up our birthdays, he’s October 17, 1982, and I’m this day. Both photos look like they were taken in possibly the same location, just at different angles. That’s really cool. This whole thing Jaime did was really cool. 💜

I was born that day in 1994 at 00:30 am in a little town in Salento in the south of Italy, so I was spending my first hours out of the womb when this polaroid was taken. I find it funny because the style of her (the girl in the photograph) clothes and sunglasses reminds me of my mother back in the 90’s.

I also was born in this day in a little city in Salento, but at 10.15 am. That’s kind of crazy. :O

This is the day that I was born in Tbilisi Georgia at 8pm. On that day there was the biggest snow storm in years and the country was under civil war. It’s incredible to see what life was like through someone’s else’s life on that day.

I was born exactly on this day. October 12th, 1997. I’ve often wondered what life was like the day I was born, what people were doing, that sort of thing. However, these photographs offer a unique sense of a world that I never could’ve had the chance to experience. Thank you for offering this wonderfully remarkable perspective on a world I never knew.

I just found this website through searching for tips of shooting Polaroid photos. such an inspiring and impressive chronicle! Thank you for putting the collection online. Wish i had discovered 2 months ago to back the Kickstarter project! Anyway…i notice a lot of people looking at the photo taken on one of their birthdays or actual birth date. I decided to join in! Though i was already around when Jame started his project, so this photo is on the date of my 4th birthday:) Weird to think i am now 41 yrs old, the age Jamie died. Anyway, love this picture..Thanks again!

Music & joy in my BD, of course its not because of me, but its still a cool photo to remind me how we should take life 🙂

I think one of my favorite things about polaroid pictures is that you can’t change them, regular digital photos can be altered and edited, but polaroids are raw and untouched, whatever you took is exactly how it will stay, so even if your friend was moving or your mom thinks she has a double chin, it doesn’t matter, because that is how the picture printed. It captures a beautiful unposed moment. It captures life. 💜
